Surviving Mold Down Under

A Guide to Implementing Dr Shoemaker’s 14 Step Mold Eradication Process in Australia

Dr Sandeep Gupta, MBBS MA FRACGP FACNEM

The term Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) was coined by Dr

Ritchie Shoemaker, a general practitioner in Maryland, USA, who describes a

syndrome triggered by exposure to biotoxins, whether the source be mold from

water damaged buildings, tick-borne infections such as Borrelia or Babesia,

dinoflagellates such as Pfiesteria or Ciguatera, blue-green algae such as

cyanobacteria and brown recluse spider bites. In susceptible hosts, exposure to

biotoxins triggers a chain reaction of events that causes a predictable multisystem

array symptoms and signs. The 14 step process for overcoming Chronic

Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a precise and systematic methodology

for overcoming the various disturbances to systemic physiology that occur in this

condition.

In Australia, similarly to other parts of the world, chronic inflammatory illness is

extremely common. This includes rheumatological conditions such as systemic

lupus erythematosis and rheumatoid arthritis and collagen vascular diseases such

as scleroderma, and Wegener’s granulomatosis. Inflammatory bowel disease, which

includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is also on the rise. Many studies have

also recognised that inflammation is an important player in chronic conditions such

as cancer, ischaemic heart disease, obesity, depression and type 2 diabetes.

CIRS is a “new kid on the block” in terms of chronic inflammatory conditions. The

condition is well established however in the medical literature. Notable are the

similarities between the molecular mechanisms of CIRS and the condition known as

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), an acute syndrome associated

with sepsis, pulmonary embolism and other life-threatening conditions. SIRS is a

condition usually treated in a hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting.

Through Dr Shoemaker’s work we can see that the evidence for an association

between environmental exposure to biotoxins and inflammatory sequelae is well

documented and predictable in individuals with certain genetic patterns whose

physiology has been primed by a previous cytokine storm of some sort. This

provides major hope for persons suffering from multisystem illness that does not

fall into the major diagnostic categories of modern medicine.

Common Questions & Answers about Cholestyramine (and why it’s the most effective option out there).

Cholestyramine (CSM) is an FDA-approved medication used in an initial stage of The Shoemaker Protocol because it has a unique affinity for binding with biotoxins and effectively eliminating them from the body.
